Warranty Information
This limited warranty covers defective parts and workmanship for one year, with free labor provided by Canon service centers.
Recording Movies: Press the START/STOP button to begin and end recording. The camcorder automatically finds empty space on the disc, eliminating the need to fast forward or rewind.
Playing Movies: Insert a finalized disc into a DVD player. Use the index screen to select and play specific scenes directly, without needing to watch the entire disc.
Sharing Videos: With the supplied Roxio MyDVD for Canon software, you can create copies of your DVDs to share with family and friends or transfer recordings to a computer for editing.
